“All works of nature created by God in heaven and on earth are works of sculpture.”

The difference between a painting and sculpture is the difference between a shadow and the thing which casts it.

A painting is merely the image of a tree, a man, or any other object reflected in a fountain.

I say that the art of sculpture is eight times as great as any other art based on drawing, because a statue has eight views and they must all be equally good.
